Nate Allen is a husband, father, friend, mystic, writer and songsmith (Destroy Nate Allen / Nate Allen & The Pac-Away Dots), based in Kansas City, who has been touring the US since 2004.

With his new endeavor, Good Saint Nathanael, Nate returns to his singer/songwriter roots. The project debut, Hide No Truth, has been hailed by critics as "an introspective masterwork" (IDIOTEQ), "a treasure worth reflecting upon time and time again" (A Diverse Sound), and "an earnest, melancholic, and impossible to forget album" (SpinDitty).

Good Saint Nathanael / Hide No Truth Press:

"an introspective masterwork" & Nate gives a commentary on each track of Hide No Truth.

Talked with Bill Power (blenderhead, ex-tooth and nail records) about many about working in sawmills, paper routes, Green Day, Christian school, legalism, Tom Fest 98, Shorthanded playing his 17th birthday changing his life, bad times in San Francisco, seminary, workaholic tendencies, ruptured appendixes, spiritual abuse and much more! Also, there's a special guest appearance from Nate's daughter. Check it out!

"Nate tells his story of realizing he was the victim of spiritual abuse from growing up in assemblies of God church, and how he moved into being a punk rocker , touring the country , and all things DIY."

"Songs were strummed. Songs were fingerpicked. And every song came with an explanation as to why it was relevant, how it came into being, and, often, how it might inspire Allen or his audience to be part of a better world. This banter was earnest but entirely enjoyable. No lectures. No cajoling the audience into participation. And only during a reworking of Destroy Nate Allen's "35, 35, 35" did Allen rise above a library whisper."
